Highlights

Cordoba, the university capital of Argentina, is popularly known as La Docta because of its rich academic tradition. This warm and inviting city offers you an ideal environment for cross-cultural immersion in Argentine society. With the Andes to the west, the Pampas to the north, and the wild beauty of Patagonia to the south, Cordoba is a crossroads for intellectual and terrestrial explorers alike.

CC-CS students study onsite at Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (UNC). Founded by the Jesuits in 1613, UNC's history is closely intertwined with the city's. Located in the center of historic downtown, UNC is home to many of the city's unique and rich historical sites, architecture, and resources. Its prestige attracts students from all over Argentina and South America. You will share daily activities with your fellow students, whether attending classes or socializing. In this atmosphere of constant immersion, you will find a great opportunity to adopt the Argentine student lifestyle.

In your free time, you may take advantage of Cordoba's extraordinary setting. Located beside the foothills of the Sierra Chica mountain range and surrounded by lakes and rivers, the region is renowned worldwide as a site for hiking, horseback riding, and other outdoor activities.

Spanish Studies Abroad's Mission Statement

The mission of Spanish Studies Abroad is to promote our students' in-depth understanding of Spanish-speaking countries, through specifically designed academically rigorous university-level programs. We consider all of our students to be willing to cross cultural boundaries, to live as members of another culture, and to thus learn about others as they learn about themselves. In accordance with our mission to encourage our students to cross cultural boundaries, Spanish Studies promotes equal opportunities within our programs and does not discriminate on the basis of an individual's race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, age, physical ability, gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics. We believe in educating students on cultural tolerance and sensitivity, acceptance of differences, inclusiveness, and how diversity is viewed in other cultures.
